Would I be wrong if I said that these stories were irrelevant? None of these are giving what we'd want them to give and it's unnecessarily triggering. After suffering through Reverend Moreland's background story, we get to see C.C. Baker again. I can't hide my level of pissitivity, because the whole thing with his stepbrother does nothing to help explain the violence he exacted upon poor Lorraine in "The Women. . ."

So, can anybody explain to me how a crack feign who "don't know water or soap"; who only knows two simple phrases, knows how to creep his way into an establishment and an exact violence on innocent people? To me, it confirms the idea that men/addicts are inherently violent and nobody really wants to believe that.

I get it. The use of a particular homophobic word is offensive to some people when it comes to Eugene. I don't excuse it, however, imo, I read it as the guilt inside of him invoking the term towards himself, as a personal attack of sorts. I'm furious about this story line for other reasons, such as the excuses he makes to his wife and the lies he convinces himself to believe.

We started out alright. Although, I don't really understand the inclusion of the story of Mildred and Brother Jerome. Maybe the point was to include an interesting musical backdrop. Now, I knew Basil was gonna piss me off and now I'm starting to understand the warnings people were giving me about reading this book. The wtf factor is strong.
